Medicare volume is ranked against active providers in the same specialty. Signals a provider has no public data for (e.g. Medicare claims) are left out of the score entirely — never counted as zero — so providers without that data are not penalized. See the full formula and weights in our methodology.
What this provider does (Medicare)
Based on Medicare fee-for-service claims, 2024; not all care is captured.
| Service (HCPCS) | Medicare services | Typical Medicare-allowed (2024) |
|---|---|---|
| Drainage of Fluid From Abdominal Cavity Using Imaging Guidance49083 | 104 | $89 |
| Aspiration of Fluid From Chest Cavity Using Imaging Guidance32555 | 95 | $92 |
| Limited Ultrasound Scan of Abdomen76705 | 25 | $23 |
| Ultrasound Scan of Chest76604 | 14 | $22 |
Typical Medicare-allowed amounts for these services range $22–$92 (2024). The Medicare-allowed amount is what Medicare recognizes for a service under fee-for-service — a reference figure for 2024, not a price quote and not what you would be billed. Medicare Part B covers roughly an eighth of all NPIs (65+ skew); services with fewer than 11 beneficiaries are suppressed by CMS.
